How To Manage Redirections For Multiple Domains
Are you an affiliate marketer? You may have registered a large number of domain names and made them point to your affiliate URLs.
Do you sell your own products and services? You may be redirecting many of your registered and unused domains to other web pages.
Do you remember all your domain names and where they point to? Are they all pointing to the right places? Are all the affiliate products you promote still alive?
In reality, it is very difficult to keep track of all these!
A previous blog post explained how you can easily redirect your domains to different web pages using a simple PHP script. That script will allow you to quickly change any URL for any domain by simply editing a text file.
Once you setup multi-domain redirects you will need to monitor the domains at regular intervals. You can do this using Domain Punch professional or Watch My Domains ISP. These domain name management software products will allow you to add / import your domain names and then monitor various information including expiry dates, DNS (for the corresponding IP address), HTTP page status, PING status, etc.
The details are displayed in a neat table (see screen shot below)
For each domain you can see the HTTP page status and the destination URL (if the domain is being redirected). There are other screens that show the registrar data, expiry dates, last modified dates, etc. These also support email alerts when the registrar status changes or if the website corresponding to a domain fails a ping test.
